Passionate

Rahu-ruled Arudra ladies have
stormy temperament. They may be
considered capricious, inconsistent, and demanding. Often they are found in sensuous, writhing, twisting, fascinating roles. Mesmerizing
dancers, they use the communicative signaling of hands, shoulders, legs,
hips, and pelvic thrust to great advantage.

Depending upon Arudra's social environment, their seductive appeal may
express as private or public When professionalized, Tiruvaatira-born may be
stage performers of high
excellence, who send waves of desire
(Rahu) through an audience numbering one or one-million.

Arudra women are often the diva type who are sensuously
clever (Rahu)
verbally quick, and impatient with those who are less
communicatively responsive. Thiruvaathira-born may be gifted in handcraft, commerce, painting, descriptive
writing, evocative song-writing, and the arts of
seductive imagery such as photography, costume, and
arts-of-style (Budha).

20-Jun-1837 due to a series of deaths among her male relatives, one month
after her 18th birthday, Victoria became Queen of England and Ireland * Rahu-Guru

Rahu via 10-Meena

14-Dec-1861 (Victoria's age 42) grieved the decease of her husband, Prince Consort Albert. His brief illness from typhoid (Ketu, dispersion; Ketu's ruler rogesha-6 Budha) came on fiercely and very quickly killed him.
His death was a terrible shock to her and caused grief throughout British society.
Thenceforward, she adopted the identity of a widow.* Guru-Zukra
bhukti
* Zukra rules 12th-from- 7th-from-7th-from-Chandra

Victoria's father was an aristocratic military officer. Although he
suffered lifelong debt and profligacy, nevertheless he was
eligible to ascend to the English throne. Victoria improbably became
Queen through her father's lineage.

Victoria's mother was a widowed princess of Leiningen. She spoke little
English and though lovely and cultured Chandra in Rohini,
she remained socially isolated Chandra in
classroom-12 . Her marriage to Victoria's father, an indebted
military officer 20 years her senior, produced baby Alexandrina Victoria
within the first year of remarriage. The Duke died eight months later.
The princess was required to remain in England to protect Victoria, upon
whom her mother's livelihood depended. Victoria complained about her
smother-mother, at one point imposing a no-contact ban.

Surya in bhava-12
also suggests that her father was a foreigner, or one with extensive
international residence and identity. Although born to aristocratic
entitlement in the line of succession to the English throne, Edward was
German-English bilingual (like most of the royal family) holidayed in
Germany and at age 18 he was sent back to Germany for military
education. He lived in Germany and foreign military assignments for most
of his adult life.

After making a second marriage to a German princess (Victoria's mom)
they ran short of funds and returned to Germany. The family had only
been briefly returned to England when dad died.

Career

Surya in bhava-12
= international political orientation.
Surya in bhava-12
is often found in nativities of world leaders who have a covert
dimension to their international dealings. Most arrangements are
conducted on private channels, in invisible (12) settings.

Surya in bhava-12 as
ruler of 3-communications = international political
intelligence by which Victoria arranged all of her children's
marriages to the royal families of Europe. Although they spread throughout
the continent, her widespread family often visited her. Lagnesha
Budha-yuti-Zukra
also indicates a master social-networker.

Victoria was well-educated for a woman of her day.
She received her mother's German cultural perspective and conducted most
daily communications in court German. In the English government of which
she was the titular ruler, Victoria demanded and received copies of all
important documents. Her opinion and alliances were surprisingly
powerful and enduring, due largely to her ability to express her views
in a literate and articulate English aristocratic style.

Consider also in terms of education,

the empowered drishti of karmesha Guru + Shani + Mangala + Rahu upon
bhava-4, providing an impetus to acquire the tools of leadership,
despite personal apathy, much counteracting the distancing effect of
Ketu-4

Her cousin and husband Albert, also a court-educated German
national, learned English intentionally after he married Victoria.
Husband's foundational schooling = 4th-from-Guru = Budha in 11-Meza,
competitive skills.

Mom (Soma) and dad (Surya) both primarily inhabited an enclosed (12), private,
rarified, bedroom-oriented, sanctuary environment created by the customs
of their small, exclusive social class. When Victoria was born, the
aristocratic classes were strictly prohibited from socializing with
non-elites, and their lives were circumscribed and inbred. They mainly
kept to themselves or visited elite relatives in distant lands.

Mom spoke
only German, as did most of her courtiers. Victoria's ethnic German husband
mastered English in his 20's, several years after their marriage.

As the future Queen of England, British-born Victoria
spoke and wrote fluent elite-register native English as taught by her tutors. In addition
to English and German, Victoria was a capable reader of French and Italian, and
she could interpret basic Latin documents.

She wrote every day, to many correspondents, and voluminously. She bound all of her children,
siblings, and many other relatives closely to her via frequent, detailed,
emotional letters of correspondence. Her extensive hands-on management
facilitated discussions,
transactions, correspondence, exerting significant control over the
royal houses of all Europe

Chandra in
classroom-12 suggests that her mother was a foreigner = a
sanctuary-seeking, deeply private person with perhaps a condition of
mental or emotional illness or distress. Mom had married dad as a German
widow with two children, come to England, but never learned English and
maintained a German-speaking household. She did not venture outside the
palace, did not attempt to communicate with English-speakers, and kept
Victoria in her bedroom until Victoria was married.

Victoria was said to deeply resent her mother's excessively protective
and fearful enclosure. As soon as she was legally able, Victoria
abandoned her mother and mother's advisors.

marriage-1 = bhava-6 = Prince Consort Albert. Although Albert
and Victoria showed a facade of happy family life, there was a
significant power imbalance (6) which caused Albert to feel
aggrieved (6). No matter his contribution to the national
governance, he was apprehended as a noble servant and paramour. As
an intelligent and capable man whose abilities were marginalized by
his marriage, Albert was naturally frustrated. This emotional stress
-- along with the appallingly unsanitary (6) conditions of
their decrepit royal home -- may well have contributed to his early
demise.

As a widow following the death of husband Albert, Queen Victoria
developed an intensely sentimental but secret relationship with the
master of her equerry, Mr. John Brown. This cross-class relationship
lasted for decades but ended with Brown's sudden death age 56. Brown's death =
the notorious Shani-Rahu bhukti. Victoria's
journals show her reeling in grief .

Balmoral Ghillie and personal attendant, Mr.
John Brown. As an Arudra-Orion
women with atmakaraka Mangala drishti into her Mithunaya lagna,
Victoria would have been a passionate human being. Chandra in Rohini
requires an attentive husband. Rahu-ruled Arudra has a stormy
temperament and often breaks taboo. One born with
Chandra in
classroom-12
finds the second marriage partner to be well-matched to the truths
of the physical body.

Mr. Brown was reputed to be muscularly
strong, gifted in handling animals, direct in speech to the point in
bullying, and loyal to a fault. Although Brown predeceased Victoria
by 14 years, Victoria was buried by her own instructions wearing
Brown's mother's wedding ring upon the third finger of her right
hand., holding Brown's photo and a lock of his hair in her left
hand.

Second child = 7th-from-Chandra (6) Vrischika.

Queen
Victoria suffered a notoriously unpleasant relationship with her second
child and eldest son, Edward Albert. Prince of Wales.

Their relationship soured over time,
due to the poor public reputation engendered by his self-indulgent
spending and sexual profligacy. Her exceptionally long reign (63 years)
delayed his Kingship, which he patently resented. Although marked at
birth as the male heir-apparent, he was only able to reign for nine
years following his mother's death.

Victoria and Albert both accused their son,
Edward VII "the Playboy Prince",of immorality and profligacy,
which was well documented via his numerous mistresses (6) some from
unsavory backgrounds (6). Like his grandfather and namesake, Edward had
a respected military career (6) and shared the camp lifestyle of that
profession. His mother, disliking his character, retreated from public
life following the death of Albert. Yet she was unwilling to step aside
to enable her son's kingship. Edward Albert soured as the
ever-in-waiting heir to the throne for nearly 40 years.

Edward Albert's rage at his mother's manipulations emerged after her
death, when, finally in power, he ordered the destruction of her books,
papers, personal effects, and especially her statue-and-medal
commemorations of her second husband, John Brown.

Much of Victoria's copious writing, painting, and several of her
commissioned artworks were destroyed posthumously by her vindictive son
Edward, who declared them unseemly. Edward detested John Brown, and many
of his mother's most passionate expressions referred directly or
indirectly to her beloved faithful servant..

Guru-Makara-Draco * nichha
* much social structure, many rules, materialistic beliefs, doctrine of rank and structure, expands the scope of philosophical realism, multiple interactions with government and institutional authority

Guru-8 rules-10 = although a highly public figure appearing to be
pure of heart and strictly ethical, Victoria maintained an extraordinary
camouflage behind which she did exactly as she desired.

Guru-8 often indicates hidden assets due to alimony, divorce
settlement, insurance payment, lottery, or inheritance large enough to
live without working.

Unlike today's
UK royalty, Victoria was socially isolated and did very little in terms of
charity or public ceremonies. She was paid for her genetics and
for iconic power to represent the British Empire.

Bhava-8 =
conditions of death (not death, just the conditions)

nichha-Guru may be beneficial in dusthamsha

Seven assassination attempts. She survived them all and lived until
age 81.

Born with Chandra in Rohini
, Victoria felt fortunate in the company of her attentive cousin-husband Albert.
Yet there would have been constant upheaval affected by their mutual
concern with money, status, and power (nichha-Guru)

Nichha-Guru ruling 7 + 10 suggests that Albert was a
capable ruler, but Guru-8 obscures him and his
leadership is not acknowledged. In
Victoria's early decades, the British parliament was barely tolerating its
historic support for the expensive, unproductive royal classes.

As a public expense in times
of tight budget, Albert was considered a nichha-Guru over-expansion.
Victoria tried hard to get her husband recognized as a kingly consort.
However, her petitions were considered excessive (Guru).

In an age of extreme masculinity, Albert was a weak (nichha)
example of the ideal.

Victoria's queenly financial income was completely supplied by
Parliament, who paid her purse from citizen taxes. Although there were
some weak attempts to limit her royal budget, Victoria's subsidies were
never reduced, and her luxury lifestyle never ended.

Result is a constant ebb-and-flow between substantial untaxed funding ++
threatened loss of this rich funding

Victoria had been deeply involved in the intrigues of government during
her mahadasha Rahu-10 and Guru-karmesha. Rahu Mahadasha started in her
teenage years and Guru Mahadasha ended with widowhood and withdrawal. By
Shani-Shani onset, she completely withdrew into private life.

She had limited governance authority due to
ruler-of-12th-from-10th-in-10th. Yet she had a great passion for
promoting the interests of herself and her entitled relatives, and she
vigorously engaged with her political allies in matters of key financial
policy. Shani-10 in 12th-from-11 also eroded her income.

Parliament
regularly balked at her demand for full subsidies, including rent-free
housing, servants, equerry and carriages, and untaxed lands for her and
her dependents. Aside from the occasional parade, she did little to
contribute to public life. Her entitlements were based
on blood (Mesha) not merit. Although often
threatened with de-funding, she made a few key
allies in Parliament. With funding often threatened by never denied, her
unearned lifestyle flowed without interruption.

Shani-10
drishti

Chandra-yuti-Surya suggests that both of her parents accepted the
strictures of public life. Young Victoria developed a facade composed of pious
displays of moral purity and sexual restraint

which became the hallmarks of Victorian
culture.

Rahu in bhava-10 * passion for leadership power *
in swabhava of Sober Shani, the Shadowy Specter seeks
privilege via glamorous or unusual iconic, symbolic, representational, government,
executive authority, social status.
Rahu-10 desires an important regulating role in materially privileged, socially visible
ranks. Exciting, potentially fraudulent, opportunistic character of the leaders, bosses and government officials. Thrives
in culturally-mixed legislative, executive settings. Rahu the Poseur may
pose as a boss, an authority-figure, a decision-maker, a legislator, a
tyrant. Rahu-10 trespasses the cultural boundaries
of governance authority, social dignity. Thrilling hunger for
high-recognition, empowered reputation, respect. Ambition
of the father's family

Ketu in
classroom-4 * ambivalent toward the homestead, absentee mother-figure, disregards local customs,
dissolved property boundaries, wanders from home, irrelevance of the

dismisses the parents, walks away from the ancestral routines.

Her eldest daughter did move far away into a German family at age 17 at a time when travel was difficult and the state interests of the two countries were in conflict thus placing considerable distance between Victoria and her eldest child

Yet there was a close relationship by letter-writing
due to the strengthening effects of Shani-Mangala-Rahu ++ Guru

assiduously to maintain the connection with her
eldest. Her daughter died a few months after Victoria.
